COME TRAIN IN PORT-CAMARGUE !

Our sailbase is Ideally located in Port Camargue, in the Grau du Roi city, in south of France. The largest marina in Europe, offers more than 300 sunny days per year. 

Halfway between Barcelona and Hyères, this is the perfect basecamp for the European olympic weeks circuit and a Paris 2024 Olympic campaign. Montpellier Airport is just a 20 minutes away and Marseille at 1h30 drive. 

No time to loose, you will find all you need for efficient training in one place. Accommodations, brief room, storage, gym and rib harbour are all in a 5 minutes walk range and close to the shore, offering you to take full advantage of every training day and, if needed, adjust at the last minute your sailing session timing. In the open wide bay or the protected little one, training venue will be chosen depending your needs (flat, choppy, waves, current). You will enjoy all the best of Mediterranean weather conditions all year round, from gusty shifty Mistral to wavy southeast. Thermals are also joining the game from April to October.

All this in our premium coaching packages.
